Biography
Ramiro Ledesma Ramos was born in Alfaraz de Sayago, Spain on 23 May 1905, and he studied letters and sciences at the Complutense University of Madrid. He was attracted to both Benito Mussolini's corporatism and Adolf Hitler's national socialism, and he began publishing the La Conquista del Estado magazine in 1931. Ledesma supported statism, a political role for the universities, regionalization, and a syndicalist structure for the economy, and he co-founded the fascist JONS party in 1931; it merged into the Falange party in 1934. He personally designed the movement's flag, and he became a prominent propagandist. However, he left the group due to his disagreements with Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, as he favored left-wing trade unions over the Falange party. At the start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Ledesma was imprisoned by the Frente Popular government for espionage in Madrid during the summer and autumn of that year, and he was executed by the Republican militia on 29 October 1936.
